Jan. 16, 2013 - PRLog -- Join author GENA MACORETTA for a talk and the signing of her book HOMEGROWN: THE JOURNEY HOME, an exploration of possibility, human potential, spirituality and self empowerment.

HOMEGROWN touches a variety of topics —from earthly truths, spiritual truths, social ills and education, to self-development, self-knowing, addiction, sadness and fear— with a transformative power that takes people into heightened realms. Following Galileo's words "You cannot teach a man anything; you can only help him find it within himself", it encourages the reader to go within the kingdom, to live within truth and to bring their soul to the conscious level.

"[...] spiritual truths, worldly truths, awareness, self-development, self-discovery, self-knowing, social understandings, addiction, fear, life challenges and much more. This book lends a hand o all those who seek help of this nature." —amazon.com

For two decades now she has taken a keen interest in the illumination of truth, the development of the soul consciousness, spiritual growth and human conditioning. GENA left behind her Interior Design career to pursue a spiritual journey. In her search she found herself a dream job. Gena became an Event Coordinator for The Learning Annex in Toronto. Here she had the opportunity to attend many wonderful seminars and workshops that focused mainly on spirituality... and soon to follow was the development and understanding of her spiritual connection with illuminated beings, her spiritual teachers. She trained for mediumship with Rev. Doreen Bauld, renowned medium, healer and teacher at Springdale Spiritualist Church, where she is an active member and medium. Her travels also led her to Lily Dale, NY, where she took in-depth spiritual training at The Fellowships of the Spirit School, studying various spiritual teachings, mediumship, healing and prophecy.
